Amit Badlani earns green glory from Gujarat CM
MUMBAI: Turning industrial progress into a green revolution, Amit Badlani has been honoured by Gujarat’s chief minister Bhupendra Patel for his remarkable contributions to sustainability.
Vihaan Clean & Green Tech and Go Green Mechanisms Pvt. Ltd. managing director Amit Badlani has spent 17 years championing eco-friendly industrial practices. Under his leadership, Vihaan Clean & Green Tech, a Hyfun Foods subsidiary, has set new standards with world-class Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems, combining efficiency with environmental responsibility.
The accolade also celebrates the company’s community initiatives, from afforestation drives to sustainable infrastructure projects. Earlier this year, Vihaan planted 400 trees in collaboration with the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for World Environment Day, earning praise for its tangible impact on local ecosystems.
“This honour is a collective achievement, it belongs to every engineer, operator, and visionary who believes in building industries that coexist responsibly with nature,” said Badlani. “At Vihaan, sustainability isn’t a goal but a practice. Every project brings us closer to a cleaner tomorrow, where progress and preservation go hand in hand.”
The award ceremony, attended by senior officials including minister of state Harsh Sanghvi, highlighted Badlani’s leadership in sustainable industrialisation, aligning with India’s Vision 2070 for net-zero emissions.
Vihaan Clean & Green Tech continues to redefine industrial environmental management. Its CETP behind Fanidhar Mega Food Park in Mehsana, Gujarat, is among India’s largest and most advanced, treating 10 MLD of wastewater and recycling it to IS 10500 drinking water standards, a model of green innovation that proves eco-conscious growth is not just possible, but profitable.

Crocs and Lego launch new collaborative collection in India
Iconic brands bring playful creativity to footwear with first drop on 13 April 2026.
MUMBAI: Crocs and Lego have clicked together once again and this time, the bricks are heading straight for Indian feet. The global footwear brand Crocs has announced the India launch of its latest Crocs x Lego Group collection, following the excitement of their multi-year global partnership unveiled earlier this year. The collaboration celebrates creativity, play, and individuality, merging Crocs’ signature comfort with Lego’s iconic building-block spirit.
The collection will roll out in two phases. A digital-exclusive pre-launch begins on 13 April 2026 on crocs.in, featuring four styles: the Lego Masterbrand Creativity Clog, Lego Midnight Garden Creativity Clog, Lego Creativity Clog, and Kids’ Lego Creativity Clog. Each pair purchased during this phase will include an exclusive Lego minifigure as a collectible bonus.
From May 2026, the full collection will be available across select Crocs stores, VegNonVeg, and Foot Locker outlets nationwide.
The designs playfully blend Crocs’ classic clog silhouette with Lego brick-inspired details, complete with custom Jibbitz charms on the upper and sole. The collection encourages wearers to treat their footwear as a canvas for personal expression, without any set instructions just an open invitation to build, explore, and have fun.
Crocs chief marketing officer Carly Gomez said, “The Lego Group’s boundless imagination makes them the perfect match to Crocs’ wonderfully unordinary spirit. We are both brands that pride ourselves on being built different, celebrating self-expression and fuelling creativity.”
LEGO Group, head of licensing & extended line design & partnerships Satwik Saraswati added, “Our common mission to enable self-expression and wear it with pride only marks the beginning of a journey with endless possibilities.”
The campaign will extend beyond the product launch through creator-led seeding, elevated visual merchandising, and exclusive on-ground previews, supported by a deeper partnership with the Lego India team.
In a market that loves both comfort and fun, Crocs and Lego have built something special, a collection that lets every step feel like playtime. Get ready to click your heels (or rather, your clogs) because this collaboration is set to be a blockbuster hit with Indian fans.
